How do you unarchive files with ufsdump? :)

When you say "refrigerator-sized monsters", did you have this kind of 
machine in mind?

It seems to me that not a lot of people are aware that Sun has other 
types of machines. The following is just FYI for those who are 
following this thread.... 

Sun has opteron based servers (the Galaxy line of servers):

http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x4200/
http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x4100/
http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x2100/

There's also another line based on the UltraSPARC T1 chip. This product 
line is called CoolThreads (T2000/T1000):

http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/t2000/
http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/t1000/


The Galaxy and CoolThreads line of servers are very far from the size of 
a refrigerator. :)
